In an already surreal season of injury and implosion, the Mets are scrambling to salvage that which was supposed to be so promising.
The Brewers swept the three-game series from struggling New York. The Mets have lost four straight.
Travis Shaw capped Milwaukee's eight-run fifth inning with a three-run homer, helping the Brewers beat the New York Mets 11-4 on Saturday night.
General manager Sandy Alderson had said he was unsure if Familia would return this season, but the team said in a statement Saturday that the right-hander can resume throwing in six weeks and should pitch again this year.
Eric Sogard and Orlando Arcia hit back-to-back homers in the sixth off Matt Harvey, spoiling the choppy return of the New York Mets' starter.
Mets closer Jeurys Familia is expected to be out "several months" after undergoing surgery Friday to remove a blood clot, general manager Sandy Alderson said Friday.
Though he'll likely be out for a while, if not the duration of the season, Familia is fortunate that this was caught now. Further testing is underway to determine if surgery is indicated.
Tebow, hitting .250/.330/.370 with 2 HR and 11 RBI, could get the call up to the next level of the minors.
The news comes a day after Familia blew a save in a 6-5 loss to the Giants. In that outing, he allowed four runs (three earned) on two hits and two walks while retiring just one batter.
Christian Arroyo broke a ninth-inning tie with a three-run double and the San Francisco Giants took advantage of a critical error by third baseman Wilmer Flores.
For a short while Saturday, the Mets didn't know where star pitcher Matt Harvey was. He failed to show up at Citi Field for the team's game against the Miami Marlins, which led to a three-game suspension without pay.
As much as New Yorkers will forgive star athletes for their sins, they can hold a heck of a grudge for the unrepentant.
Hours after an embarrassed Matt Harvey returned from his three-day suspension with a string of contrite apologies, the banged-up Mets began moving on from their latest commotion.
Mike Francesa says he's willing to take Matt Harvey at face value after the Mets pitcher apologized in a Tuesday news conference for the actions that led to his three-game suspension.
The Mets suspended Harvey without pay after the onetime ace failed to show up for Saturday's home game against the Marlins.
